Strictly Come Dancing regulars have called out former Coronation Street star Shayne Ward, 40, after his Spooky Paso Doble saw him stay in the competition when he was unanimously saved by all four judges.

He fought it out in the last two alongside Dr. Punam Krishan41, who danced a Tango with pro Gorka Marquez, 34, and was eventually eliminated.

Still, some vented their anger at the outcome – saying Shayne’s quirky take on the Paso only saw him dance a step 40 seconds in – and saw the spotlight falling too heavily on his dance partner. Nancy Xu33.

A second comment: “Definitely the wrong decision.”

A third insisted: “Hmmm, Shane didn’t dance?!” while someone cheered: “Go Gorka!!… at least you danced!”

One then mused how Dr. Punam was “robbed,” saying, “Shayne only really danced in the second half of his paso.

‘I choose dancing over waving around for thirty seconds. Nancy, pay attention.”

Another joked: “Shayne has moved on to next week because he was standing in the middle of the dance floor waving a stick.”

Others focused on the amount of fancy footwork from professional Nancy.

One added: “People don’t like Shayne do they. Nancy shouldn’t take over the dance though.”

Clap BACK

It’s not the first time the actor and singer has been in Strictly’s dreaded bottom two.

Previously it was the Hitmaker from That’s My Goal forced to clap back after fans called him ‘insufferable’ and ‘cocky’.

Some had branded him ‘too confident’ after his Samba last month.

He then issued a statement on social media to hit back at the haters.

Accompanied by a moody black and white photo, Shayne said: “Strictly is amazing and I love being part of it.

“But my smile on TV makes me as nervous as anyone else.

“Not cocky or overconfident… I’m nervous!

“I just have to work hard and listen to my great teacher Nancy Xiu. All I can do is try my best!”

At the time, someone simply said, “He’s insufferable.”

His professional partner Nancy then also broke her silence as she supported the star.
